So many huge dot com businesses started that way, grown out of someone's parents' basement

I do notice the unusual indie games you frequent on that game distribution service

Surely you could have gone a month without Hentai

I think you're legally entitled to SFA Part of rental agreement and/or tenancy from memory, though there's likely some info on the tenants union website about what counts as reasonable

RB25DET engine dies after hitting redline.
Birds replied to CDIRTY4's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
That may not be the solution Turbo could be overboosting, if wastegate gets stuck open and the high rpm makes it boost so much that it R&Rs. -
RBs unreliable? Please...these engines come to Australia with 100-150,000km+ already on them, after sitting in storage unserviced, then we go and double or triple their factory power without opening them up. It's testament to their exemplary engineering that I've have 280rwkw for over 100,000km, with 220,000 on the odo (aka actually 320,000), having only ever replaced a head gasket 20,000km ago because I thrashed the thing around a racetrack. Once that was replaced it felt like a new engine again! I don't limiter bash but I definitely drive that engine hard. Most of the common issues that appear on SAU are just standard wear items like coilpacks, wrong spark plug / gap, boosting/turbo related or not making the power they want. Let's face it, just by looking at the condition and appearance of many Skylines, they haven't had the most meticulous owners over the years and I doubt many are as anal as I about servicing every 5,000km with new plugs and oil/filter, which I maintain has helped with engine longevity. You can't beat Japanese reliability. The Aussie sedans give them a good run in our own backyard, but the engineering isn't quite the same league.

Wrighty's 1994 R33 GTS25T
Birds replied to Wrighty's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Super organised with that list! Well done man For your servicing...Z145A oil filter, Z200 fuel filter (Ryco) and BCPR6ES for the spark plugs -
Must have been loose for a while, feels heaps more powerful/responsive than it did before

AFM feels here Took second to 110 against a CLA45 and it popped on the change into third. Speed was dying fast, fortunately just around the corner from work. Trying to change into his lane behind him to make my turnoff; the guy was trying to speed match me for a rolling drag...f**k off man I need all the momentum I can save to roll into work!

Freeway courtesy doesn't exist across the whole of Melbourne I find, let alone expect it from the idiots down that way It's sad when I smile and say good driver when someone does move over to the left for me

I never understand with the huge corporate job cuts, why they are all done at once instead of slow reduction over time to offset the liability to the point they might not need to slash as many

Sounds like entering a rich and retard mode, maybe not getting enough fuel in? -
Things bout to get interesting for 88E with 3D seismic commencing and impending reopen of IW2. Gym guys talking about Crypto was bad enough. With 60 minutes doing a report on Crypto and telling viewers whether they can make money on it or not, you couldn't pay my to invest right now... lol @ auscoin goons too

Freeway extensions have been great - got to work in 17 mins this morning

Pretty decent growth suburb - 11% from memory. Vacant land is practically non existent and old houses are being snatched up for current and future subdivision. Fountain Gate is a massive draw card, as is the Monash cutting through the suburb. Will be what Rowville is now in about 5-7 years. Especially with Cranbourne filling out farmland with estates left right and centre - would not want to live down there with insane congestion on the way. Much needed freeways down there. Berwick and Endeavoir Hills have also gone nuts. As the more established and gentrified suburbs, they're boosted by Narre's growth the same way Narre is by Cranbourne and Clyde.

Spotted two McLaren 570S parked in Narre in the space of two days Watch out Toorak

In the South East My immobiliser and kill switch have saved me each and every time. Better off leaving a key in the ignition so they don't destroy the barrel. Once they've realised it won't start without a fob they piss off. The only way they'll get my car is by towing it. They are teenagers looking for joy rides and bragging rights on Facebook. It's not about money and selling parts like it used to be. Sadly this means not only are they opportunistically doing it, walking through carparks looking for targets, but many of the vehicles are found burned out - waste of a good car and money for some f**karse drain on society to have a couple hours fun in someone else's pride and joy.
